We consider the following well-known problem, which is called the edge-disjoint paths problem. Input: A graph G with n vertices and m edges, k pairs of vertices (s1, t1), (s2, t2)...
In this paper, we consider variants of the traveling salesman problem with precedence constraints. We characterize hard input instances for Christofides' algorithm and Hoogeve...
In the minimum path coloring problem, we are given a list of pairs of vertices of a graph. We are asked to connect each pair by a colored path. Paths of the same color must be edg...
The problem of finding k minimum energy, edge-disjoint paths in wireless networks (MEEP) arises in the context of routing and belongs to the class of range assignment problems. A ...
We consider the online version of the maximum vertex disjoint path problem when the underlying network is a tree. In this problem, a sequence of requests arrives in an online fash...
